Start vehicular equipment pattern or static equipment pattern

In one or more embodiments, controller 112 is configured as user and carries with equipment 102 (for example, use Family positive carry or dress equipment 102) when, start vehicular equipment pattern, and when user does not carry with equipment 102, open Sound stops equipment mode.

For example, it is contemplated that illustrating Fig. 2 of the system 200 in example embodiment, wherein, controller 112 startup activity sets Standby pattern or static equipment pattern.Controller 112 (Fig. 1) is configured to from accelerometer 122, gyroscope 124 and timer 126 receive acceleration information 202, rotation data 204 and timer data 206.Based on data 202,204, and 206, control Device 112 determines whether to detect movement at 208 in preset time section.

For example, accelerometer 122 with the acceleration of testing equipment 102, and can will indicate adding of the motion of electronic equipment 102 Speed data 202 is supplied to controller 112.Additionally or as an alternative, gyroscope 124 can with the rotation of testing equipment 102, and The rotation data 204 of the rotational motion of instruction equipment 102 is supplied to controller 112.Timer 126 is configurable to generate the time Section, this time period can correspond to any time section, such as 60 seconds, 5 minutes or 10 minutes.

When controller 112 detects the motion of electronic equipment 102 within the time period being set by timer 126, control Device 112 determines that the user of equipment carries with equipment 102 and starts vehicular equipment pattern at 210.Because when equipment with When in the wrist at family, in the handss of user or in the pocket of user, sensor will detect the motion of equipment, so controller 112 Determine that user carries with this equipment.Hereinafter in the chapters and sections of entitled " vehicular equipment pattern ", in more detail to vehicular equipment Pattern is discussed.

As an alternative, be not detected by the time period set by timer 126 electronic equipment 102 motion when, control Device 112 determines that user does not carry with equipment 102, and starts static equipment pattern at 212.When being not detected by motion, Controller 112 determine user do not carry with equipment 102 because when user do not carry with equipment (for example equipment on the table or In other surfaces) when, sensor will not detect the motion of equipment.The chapters and sections of hereinafter entitled " static equipment pattern " In, in more detail static equipment pattern is discussed.

In one or more embodiments, equipment 102 further includes wearing property sensor, is such as used for wrist and dresses The wrist detection sensor of formula equipment or the side senser for handheld device.Can be passed using wearing property by controller 112 Sensor is carried with equipment (such as equipment is in the wrist of user or in the handss of user) or static is placed on table determining user On face.Therefore in these embodiments, controller 112 can be based on the data receiving from wearing property sensor, startup activity Equipment mode or static equipment pattern.

Vehicular equipment pattern

In vehicular equipment pattern, user carries with equipment 102, such as in the wrist of user, in user's handss or use Portable device 102 in the pocket at family or wallet.User may one all day in many times sweep the display 118 of equipment 102 Check information, such as calendar invitation, the score of text message, missed call or sports tournament.User checks display every time When 118, display must be enabled or open so that user checks information over the display.

In conventional scheme, enabling display has two kinds of general modes.First kind of way, whenever user wish to check aobvious Show the power knob needing during device in user's presses.The method is probably inconvenient for user, particularly will set Standby 102 are embodied as intelligent watch and when user wishes quickly to check information on display 118.The second way is to make all the time Display is in enable or enables display when receiving notice.All the time enabling display is the waste to resource, because When user does not have no reason when checking display to make display enable.Enable display to be likely to waste when receiving notice Resource, because user may not check display when receiving notice.

In vehicular equipment pattern, electronic equipment 102 be configured to determine that user when mobile device checking display, And check that display to enable display in response to determination user.By this way, do not waste the battery of equipment 102 Electric power, because ability opening display only when user checks display.Additionally, the method is more convenient for a user, because In order to check information on display 118, user can simply move this equipment to watch display 118, and need not press Press any button.

Fig. 3 illustrates example system 300, wherein, checks motion module 114 enabled electronic devices in vehicular equipment pattern 102 display 118.In vehicular equipment pattern, electronic equipment 102 allows users to look into by simply mobile device See that display 118 need not press any additional buttons or control.

Consider now to checking how motion module 114 enables the more detailed opinion of display 118 in vehicular equipment pattern State, this enable is in the following way：(1) determine and check motion, (2) detection suspends, (3) make sensor confirm that user looks into See display, and (3) enable display.

Determine and check motion

In vehicular equipment pattern, check that what motion module 114 was configured to determine that electronic equipment 102 checks motion 302. As described herein, " checking motion " can correspond to user and carry out any shifting to electronic equipment 102 to check display 118 Dynamic.In one or more embodiments, check that motion 302 can include linear movement and/or twist motion.For example, when setting When being implemented as wearable device 102-1 (being for example worn on the intelligent watch in the wrist of user or Intelligent bracelet) for 102, use Family can be passed through the linear movement of wrist of the eyes pull user to user for the execution and execute the body rotations use to user The twist motion of the wrist at family is checking equipment 102.Similarly, when equipment 102 be implemented as Wireless Telecom Equipment 102-2 and When being held in the handss of user, user can be checked to the linear movement of the eyes pull equipment 102 of user by execution Equipment 102.In this case, user or can also can not execute the torsion fortune of the body rotations to user by equipment 102 Dynamic.

Check that motion module 114 can be using the sensing data from one or more sensors 120, with various differences Mode check motion to determine.In example 300, check that motion module 114 is configured to monitor and be derived from accelerometer 122, top Spiral shell instrument 124 and the output of timer 126.Check motion module 114 based on the acceleration information 304 receiving from accelerometer 122 And/or the rotation data 306 receiving from gyroscope 124 to determine and checks motion 302.

Accelerometer 122 is configured to the acceleration of testing equipment 102.Thus, whenever equipment 102 is in straight line or partly straight Line on move when, accelerometer 122 can detect linear movement.Linear movement can correspond to user to check display 118 by equipment 102 pull from the eyes to user.When user is when standing, user can pull upwardly on equipment so that equipment 102 closer to user eyes.As an alternative, when user lies down, user can downwards pull equipment 102 so that equipment closer to The eyes of user.The acceleration of accelerometer 122 supervision equipment 102, and export acceleration information 304.Check motion module 114 Receive acceleration information 304, and linear movement is determined based on acceleration information 304.

Gyroscope 124 is configured to monitor the rotation of equipment 102.Therefore, whenever equipment 102 is rotated to the body of user When, gyroscope 124 can detect twist motion.Twist motion can correspond to user by body rotations from equipment 102 to user To check display 118.The rotation of gyroscope 124 supervision equipment 102, and export rotation data 306.Check motion module 114 reception rotation datas 306, and twist motion is determined based on rotation data 306.

In order to check display 118, many users are by a single direction to their body torsion equipment 102.Therefore, In one or more embodiments, check that mobile module 114 is configured to filter out rightabout (i.e. away from the body of user) On twist motion.When equipment 102 be wrist wearing equipment when, based on the acceleration information 304 receiving from accelerometer 122 with And the rotation data 306 from gyroscope 124 reception, mobile device 102 checks that motion module 114 just can determine to user at the beginning Which equipment 102 is worn on hand.Similarly, when equipment 102 is handheld device, based on the acceleration receiving from accelerometer 122 Degrees of data 304 and the rotation data 306 receiving from gyroscope 124, mobile device 102 checks motion module 114 to user at the beginning Just can determine which handss equipment 102 is held in.This originally determined so that checking that motion module 114 can determine from top The rotation data 306 that spiral shell instrument 124 receives corresponds to checks that the twist motion of display 118 also corresponds to random motion.

In one or more embodiments, when interior at preset time intervals linear movement and twist motion is detected when, Check that motion module 114 determines and check motion 302 generation.For this reason, checking that motion module 114 receives timing number from timer 126 According to 308, and determine whether both linear movement and twist motion occur in the predetermined time interval being set by timer 126 Interior.Predetermined time interval can be set by timer 126 or it can be can be by user configured.Generally, between the scheduled time Every corresponding to of short duration time quantum, such as 1 second or less.Of short duration time interval guarantees sequentially or at least partially simultaneously to connect Receive linear movement and twist motion.For example, as user in execution linear movement without execution twist motion or in contrast, and And when having crossed afterwards for a long time and having executed another in linear movement and twist motion, these motions are likely to random.

In one or more embodiments, order linear movement and twist motion is detected does not affect determination and checks motion 302, as long as two kinds of motions is detected in this time interval.For example, it is possible to before or after linear movement is detected, detection Twist motion.Additionally, in one or more embodiments, when the only one of linear movement and twist motion is detected, permissible Determine and check motion.For example, for checking handheld device, user simply can be transported with linear in the case of not having torsion equipment Dynamic mobile device need not be checking display 118.

Detection suspends

Check that motion module 114 is further configured to the time-out of the motion of testing equipment 102 after checking motion 302 310.This time-out likely corresponds to the of short duration time period existing after checking motion, such as 1 second or less.For example, it is contemplated that inciting somebody to action To the eyes pull of user with after reversing, user by this moving pause 1 second or can suspend a moment so that user's energy to equipment 102 Enough check display 118.Check that motion module 114 can be based on the acceleration information 304 receiving from accelerometer 122, from gyro Rotation data 306 and the chronometric data 308 receiving from timer 126 that instrument 124 receives, detect time-out 310.Accelerate the number of degrees Make to check that motion module 114 can determine that equipment 102 has stopped moving according to 304, or the motion of determination equipment 102 is less than Threshold value.Rotation data 306 makes to check that motion module 114 can determine that equipment 102 no longer reverses or rotates, and chronometric data 308 make to check that motion module 114 can determine that equipment 102 has stopped movement and reached time interval.

After determination checks that motion 302 subsequently has time-out 310, check that motion module 114 can determine that user is likely to Check display 118.Thus, in one or more embodiments, check that motion 302 subsequently has time-out 310 in determination Afterwards, check that motion module 114 can enable display 118 for checking.However, subsequently have a time-out checks that motion is possible to Can correspond to the motion in addition to checking motion.For example, when equipment 102 is worn in the wrist of user user and user lifts Rise he handss or to friend wave when, these motions are possible to be checked that motion module 114 is construed to check motion.Thus, exist In other embodiment, check that motion module 114 can execute other operations one or more and come before enabling display 118 Confirm that user just checks display 118.

Enable (one or more) sensor and check display to confirm user

In one or more embodiments, when check motion module 114 to determine subsequently to have suspend 310 check motion When 302, check that motion module 114 is configured to enable one or more sensors 312 and checks display confirming user 118.As described herein, enable sensor and refer to the previously disabled sensor of startup.Will it is realized that determination check motion and Enabling sensor 312 after time-out leads to the notable electric power of equipment 102 to be saved, because sensor 312 is until needing them to come really Recognize till user checks display 118 and be not used by.In order to enable sensor 312, check motion module 114 by one or Multiple control signal 314 sends to sensor 312.

By check one or more sensors 312 that motion module 114 enables can include infrared sensor 128, heat pass Sensor 130 and/or imager 132.It will be appreciated, however, that 114 can enable any kind of sensor 312 to confirm user Check display 118.

Sensor 312 can include infrared sensor 128.Infrared sensor 128 is implemented as detection and is setting The narrow beam infrared sensor of the object in 1 to 2 foot of standby 102.Once being enabled, infrared light launched by infrared sensor 128 Restraint and monitor the reflection of the light beam from neighbouring object.For example, infrared sensor 128 can include transmitting and has about 850 nanometers To the emitter of the short-wave infrared light beam of 950 nanometers of wavelength, and the infrared beam from object reflection receiving about 860 nanometers Receptor.The front of equipment 102 to dispose infrared sensor 128 close to display 118, and therefore unless equipment to The face of user reverses, and otherwise infrared sensor 128 will not detect object (face of such as user).When user check aobvious When showing device 118, infrared sensor 128 will detect the face of user, because arrow beam of light is reflected back infrared sensor from the face of user 128.When infrared sensor 128 detects object, infrared sensor sends control signal 316 to checking motion module 114, Inform and check that motion module 114 detects object.

Alternatively or in addition, sensor 312 can include one or more heat sensors 130.Heat sensor 130 is permissible It is implemented as detecting the passive narrow beam heat sensor 130 of the heat in 1 to 2 foot of equipment 102.For example, heat sensing Device may be implemented as thermocouple type infrared sensor or thermoelectric (al) type motion sensor, and it includes being configured to about 10 microns of detection The receptor of the heat at place.Therefore noted that arriving, different from infrared sensor 128, heat sensor 130 does not include emitter.Once It is enabled, heat sensor 130 just can detect the presence of heat.The front of electronic equipment 102 to be pacified close to display 118 Put heat sensor 130, and therefore except non-display 118 is twisted to the face of user, otherwise heat sensor 130 will not detect To object (face of such as user).When user checks display 118, heat sensor 130 passes through detection from user's The heat of face is detecting the face of user.When heat sensor 130 detects object, heat sensor sends to checking motion module 114 To inform, control signal 316 checks that motion module 114 detects object.

Alternatively or in addition, sensor 312 can include imager 132.Imager 132 can be by capturing user's The image of face is detecting user.Enabling imager 132 can increase the essence of the determination that user is checked with display 118 Degree.However, imager 132 uses more electric power than infrared sensor 128 or heat sensor 130.Therefore, in certain situation Under, due to power consumption, enable imager 132 confirming user and just check that display 118 is nonsensical.

In one or more embodiments, check that motion module 114 enables two or more sensors 312 simultaneously.Example As, check motion module 114 can enable simultaneously two in infrared sensor 128, heat sensor 130 and imager 132 or More with confirm user just check display 118.Although enabling two or more sensors can lead to bigger power consumption, increase User checked with the precision of the determination of display 118.For example, infrared sensor 128 is capable of the presence of detection object, but And do not know to be user.Similarly, heat sensor 130 can detect heat, but the heat detecting is not necessarily the face from user. However, when these sensors both detect object, checking that motion module 114 can determine use with very high precision Display 118 is checked at family.

In one or more embodiments, check display 118 for confirmation user, checking that motion module 114 is suitable Sequence ground enables two or more sensors.For example, check that motion module 114 can enable first sensor and carry out detection object.Quilt The first sensor enabling can be one of infrared sensor 128, heat sensor 130 or imager 132.When the first biography When sensor detects object, second sensor can be enabled after checking motion module 114 and carry out detection object.Second sensor can To be different one of (from first sensor) in infrared sensor 128, heat sensor 130 or imager 132.When second When sensor also detects that object, check that motion module 114 determines that user checks display 118.However, when the first sensing When device is not detected by object, check that motion module 114 does not enable second sensor.Therefore it will be appreciated that sequentially enabling two Or more sensor ratio enables two or more sensors and employs less electric power, because when first sensor is not detected by simultaneously Do not need during object to enable second sensor.

In one or more embodiments, check that motion module 114 simultaneously or sequentially enables infrared sensor 128 He Both heat sensors 130.When one of these sensors detect object, check that motion module 114 enables imager 132 check display 118 confirming user.

In one or more embodiments, imager 132 can be used to confirm that the user checking display 118 is to set Standby 102 owner or be associated with equipment 102.For example, imager 132 is capable of identify that specific user, and therefore, it is possible to It is used to confirm that the user checking display 118 is the real owner of equipment 102.In some cases, only work as imaging When device 132 confirms the owner that user is equipment 102, just can assume certain form of information to user.For example, except non-imaged When device 132 confirms the owner that user is equipment 102, otherwise can not assume text message to user.

Enable display

When checking that motion module 114 confirms that user checks display 118, check that motion module 114 will control letter Numbers 318 are sent to display 118 to enable display 118 for checking.As described herein, enable display aobvious corresponding to starting Show device, point bright display or one or more of spatial cue over the display.For example, in some cases, display can Can be closed or dimmed until checking that motion module 114 detects till user just checks display.Then, check motion module 114 enable display 118 so that viewer can see display by startup or point bright display.

Alternatively or in addition, check that motion module 114 can enable display by spatial cue over the display, The incoming warning of described information, unread message, the text message being most recently received, calendar notification, caller ID etc..At present, When notifying or warn whenever receiving, information is rendered over the display by many equipment.Therefore, by not watching display in user Bright display or spatial cue over the display will not unnecessarily be put during device, only detecting after user checks display Ability spatial cue can lead to electric power to be saved.

In some cases, enable display and correspond to the one or more parts enabling display 118.For example, it is possible to A part for display 118 is configured to assume current time.Therefore, in some cases, aobvious when determining that user checks When showing device 118, can only enable the part corresponding with current time.Similarly, when a part for display 118 is configured to When assuming the information being associated with new text message, this partly can only be rendered when receiving new text message.

Consider now to the discussion enabling display in static equipment pattern.

Static equipment pattern

User may not carry with equipment 102 always.For example, equipment 102 may be placed in such as platform or desk by user Surface on resting position.When equipment 102 is in resting position, equipment can continue to notify, such as unread message, The text message that is most recently received, calendar notification, caller ID etc..May enable aobvious when some conventional equipments are notified every time Show device to render these notices.For example, when a user receives a text message, display can be started and assume text to user Message.However, when user does not carry with equipment, enabling the waste that display is probably to resource.

In some cases, when equipment is in resting position, user may want to move towards this equipment and sweep this to set For to check current time or to watch whether receiving any notice.Many conventional equipments need user's pick device and press Button come to start display in case check these notice.Which is inconvenient for a user, because user is only for checking Information on display has to carry out one or two extra action.

In one or more embodiments, under static equipment pattern, electronic equipment 102 is configured to determine that user how When move in the range of the checking of equipment to check display, and in response to determining that user checks that display shows enabling this Show device.By this way, the battery electric power of equipment 102 is not wasted, because only just opening when user checks display Dynamic display.Additionally, the method is much more convenient for user, because in order to check the information on display 118, user is permissible Only move simultaneously to equipment 102 and watch display 118, and this equipment need not be lifted or press any button.

Fig. 4 illustrates example system 400, wherein, there are module 116 enabled electronic devices 102 in static equipment pattern Display 118.Under static equipment pattern, electronic equipment 102 allows users to by only moving to looking into of display In the range of seeing and check this display to check display 118.User need not pick up this equipment or press any extra button Or control.

Consider there is how module 116 enables being discussed in greater detail of display 118 in static equipment pattern now, this makes Can be in the following way：(1) detect audio frequency；(2) enable first sensor, (3) determine object in the range of checking, (4) determine The motion of object is less than threshold value, and (5) enable second sensor, and (6) enable display.

When equipment 102 is in static equipment pattern, enable every other on mike 134, and disablement device 102 Sensor.All the sensors in addition to mike 134 for the disabling lead to the notable electric power of equipment 102 to be saved.Mike 134 is configured Can be with the audio frequency of the presence of instruction user or noise for listening to.For example, when user opens door, or enter into the room residing for equipment 102 When interior, user can manufacture noise, and it can be detected by mike 134.

When mike 134 detects audio frequency or noise, mike 134 sends audio signal 402 to there is module 116.Then, whether there is module 116 determines this audio signal corresponding to the noise being produced by the presence of user.

Enable first sensor

When there is module 116 and determining the presence that the audio signal 402 that produced by mike 134 corresponds to user, exist Module 116 enables one or more first sensors 404 to detect the object corresponding with user.For this reason, there is module 116 will Control signal 406 sends to one or more first sensors 404.First sensor 404 may be implemented as infrared sensor 128th, heat sensor 130, imager 132 or be configured to detect one of sensor of any other type of object Or it is multiple.

In one or more embodiments, first sensor 404 is broad beam heat sensor 130.Come different from detection From the narrow beam heat sensor of the heat of the closely interior object positioned at equipment 102, broad beam heat sensor 130 is configured to examine Survey the object being in from equipment 102 further distance.For example, broad beam heat sensor 130 may be implemented as including receptor Passive broad beam heat sensor, this receptor is configured at any position with respect to equipment 102 detection from being located at Reach the heat of 20 feet of object from equipment 102.

In one or more embodiments, broad beam heat sensor 130 may be implemented as pointing to from equipment 102 not The set of equidirectional heat sensor 130 is to be collectively forming broad beam heat sensor.In this embodiment, there is module 116 Multiple heat sensors can be enabled to position user to form wide overall light beam simultaneously, or sequentially to be made with the pattern of scanning Can be to position user.For example, there is module 116 and by enabling and the different heat sensing in multiple heat sensors can be disabled Device, based on the distance of object and equipment 102, adjusts the coverage of broad beam heat sensor 130.

Determine that object checks in the distance

There is module 116 and be configured to determine that when object (such as user) checks scope 408 in electronic equipment 102 Interior.As described herein, check that scope corresponds to user and can check the letter on display 118 at a distance from this of equipment 102 The distance of breath.Typically, this checks that scope can correspond to be less than 5 feet from equipment 102, but the size based on display 118, This checks that distance can be configured to any distance.

There is module 116 to determine and use based on the sensing data 410 receiving from the first sensor 404 being enabled Whether family is in the range of the checking of equipment 102.For example, first sensor 404 is when being implemented as heat sensor 130, Neng Gou User close to equipment 102 when the body heat from user of increase is detected, and generate the distance away from equipment 102 with user Corresponding sensing data 410.In one or more embodiments, when user is close to equipment 102, there is module 116 Can be with the different sensor in enabled or disabled first sensor 404 or sensor groups so that " (zoom be amplified to user in)”.For example, it is possible to by there is module 116 based on user with respect to the position of equipment 102, continuously adjust broad beam heat sensing The coverage of device 130.

Alternatively or in addition, there is module 116 to determine based on the audio signal 402 receiving from mike 134 Whether user is in the range of the checking of equipment 102.Close to equipment 102 with user, the noise being detected by mike 134 or sound Frequency will increase in volume.For example, close to equipment 102 with user, the noise being caused by the step that user walks will be in sound Increase in amount.

Determine that the motion of object is less than threshold value

When there is module 116 and determining that object is in the range of the checking of electronic equipment 102, determine after there is module 116 Whether the motion of object (such as user) is less than threshold value 412.This threshold value can correspond to low quantity of motion, and therefore works as user When almost still standing or sit, the motion of object will be less than threshold value.When motion is higher than threshold value, user is likely to only pass through and sets Do not watch display 118 for 102.However, when object in the range of checking and move be down to below threshold value when, there is module Determine that user is likely to be looking at the display 118 of equipment 102.For example, in order to check equipment 102 when equipment is located on table, User can move towards this equipment, pause and see down to display 118 to check display.

There is module 116 based on the sensing data 410 from first sensor 404 and/or the sound from mike 134 Frequency signal 402, determines that the motion of user is less than threshold value.For example, when user no longer moves, examined by broad beam heat sensor 130 The heat surveyed will be held nearly constant, and mike 134 may detect that little noise from user or can't detect Noise from user.

Enable second sensor

Determine that object is located in the range of the checking of display 118 and the motion of object is less than threshold value when there is module 116 When, there is module 116 and enable one or more second sensors 414 and check display 118 confirming that this object corresponds to User.By it is realized that determine object be in the range of the checking of display 118 and object motion be less than threshold value after make Second sensor 414 the notable electric power of equipment 102 can be led to save.In order to enable second sensor 414, there is module 116 will One or more control signals 416 send to second sensor 414.
